A tale of fateful mysterious encounters. A promoter of culture a work horse is very well portrayed by Gilles. Something that's frequently remarkable about European cinema is quietness that builds up anxiousness. Kompromat got that distracting silence to which the thrills gets bombarded. A beautiful love story that's ill-fated yet pure and childish. Joanna Kulig was perfect in portraying the woman lost between worlds. Rest of the cast put up sincere performances too. Cinematography is excellent adapting to the mood of each moment. Kompromat is a simple story that's told right. Worth the time spent.

Gilles Lelouche played amazingly and carried this unbelievable true story. It keeps you stressed for hours and completely shocked when you realise everything is true.

The atmosphere is amazing, the cold russia, and every little details that saved his life.

Some scene are so well played that you just want to hit the " -10 sec" to live the moment again. Some credit have so be given to the russian army force actor who brings the horror through the screen.

One of the best movie of the year, for the movie but first to know this story that will let you speechless.

Don't waist you time and go check now.

What promised to be a great movie, loosely based on real events, turned into a soap full of clichés and turns of events that lack verisimilitude. It is really sad that the screewriter/ the director felt the need to pack the film with over the top dramatic unrealistic eye-roll worthy plots and twists on top of the core storyline, wherever some understatement and restraint could have made this a great film. This story didn't deserve to be turned into melodramatic fromage.

However, the portrayal of the Russian system, specifically the prison and the people' interactions are realistic enough. The acting is great as well. It is entertaining enough for you to wait till the very expected end.
